Feelin’ the Goodmama Love!

After cloth diapering for over a year and a half, I finally broke down last month and bought my first Goodmama fitted diaper from Kelly’s Closet. I’d heard so many great things about Goodmama diapers, but just never wanted to spend “that much” money on a diaper. Seriously, my baby is just going to poop in it. I remember thinking that people where crazy for spending $60 – $80 or more on a single diaper if it meant buying a special limited edition print. I also recall hearing of the crazy “sell-out-in-seconds stockings” that would take place just to get one single diaper. As much as I loved my cloth diapers, I just wasn’t willing to go that far, and I know my pocket book wouldn’t have allowed me, even if I had wanted to. Besides, my husband would likely take away my credit cards if I spent that much on a single diaper!

Time has passed and all that craziness seems to have settled back down a bit, so when I saw the Goodmama diapers go on sale last month on Kelly’s Closet I just had to pick one up. When it arrived in the mail I was in love with my new diaper – the Primal Roar Goodmama fitted. I was surprised at how thick the diaper and inserts were, as well as how soft the organic bamboo velour was. I couldn’t wait to wash it and add it into my rotation. However, I purchased the diaper as a Christmas gift for my son Brendan, so it would have to wait a few weeks!

I was so in love with my new diaper that not a week later, I just had to add another one to my stash. Thankfully the Goodmama diapers were still on sale at Kelly’s Closet and I couldn’t pass up such a great deal. I ordered the “Get the Scoop” print figuring it was gender neutral enough for my little man, and it too found its way under the tree just in time for Christmas.

I’ve been using the Goodmama diapers for about two weeks now and absolutely love them. Brendan has been recovering from a round of Rotavirus so diaper changes have been less than fun in the past week if you know what I mean. Yesterday morning I went to change a stinky diaper and I was amazed that everything was contained inside the diaper. I have my doubts that any of our other diapers could have contained such a mess so well, and I rarely, if ever have leaks with any cloth diaper. I immediately rinsed off the diaper with my diaper sprayer and continued to wash my fluff that afternoon. The Goodmama came out looking like new…not a single stain! I was sure that I would have to take a few extra steps to clean up the light colored velour, but a normal wash routine using Rockin’ Green did the trick in just one wash. Simply amazing!

I can’t wait to get my hands on a few more Goodmama diapers as my cloth diaper budget allows. NOW I understand what the fuss is all about… Goodmama diapers rock!

This post definitely has me longing even more for a Goodmama Fitted Diaper. But like Katrina, I haven't been able to part with the $$ for them. Especially since I get the comment "why are we buying yet another cloth diaper?" from my hubby each time I recieve a package from the Diapershops.

I, too, never understood until I got my own…although I traded my pockets that were not getting any love! They are now my go to traveling/out-and-about diapers! In 6 months, NOT ONE SINGLE LEAK OR BLOW OUT!!!!!

I went through the same thing when I bought my first Goodmama! I am now up to 8 of them and about to buy another 5 used. They are awesome, especially under wool or fleece, they absorb more than any other fitted I've tried and way more than a prefold! Have fun with the fluff!

Would love to try a Goodmama…however, we CD mostly to save $$ and right now our daughter is showing interest in potty training. HOwever, if we ever have another, I hope to splurge on a couple of these!

I have really been wanting to try a Goodmama diaper. I'm hoping soon that I will be able to. Same story about the money just being too much. Maybe one of these days I'll stash a little away to try one.

I too was hesitant to spend money on the GoodMama diaper, but I bought all three fitted prints during the pre-Christmas sale. And I LOVE THEM. My one-year-old daughter is a super-soaker, particularly at night, and as she still breastfeeds, we have occasional rounds of loose and explosive poops. NEVER A LEAK.

Even my husband likes them. Well, he likes how they work and that we don't wake up with a wet bed from a leaky baby 🙂 He doesn't even seem to mind if I buy more of them as our daughter will put them to good use, and I'm sure they'll go through the ringer with the hypothetical "next child."

I have heard people rave about them, but I haven't tried one. I would love to try one though, even though for the most part I am like Megan in that I am into pockets because I don't like the thought of an extra step. I did recently get a baby beehinds and I must say I do like it – I just hate covering the color up.

During the Goodmama sale I picked up my first Goodmama diaper. Before that I never could have imagined spending the money for them, now I own a mix of Ones and fitteds, I am in Love!!! I also purchased a good night diaper, it's the first that has worked for me, we don't even need a cover for it! I banned myself from buying anymore until we have another baby!

I started using cloth in November, after using disposables(for years) for my six boys. I really didn't know how much better cloth would be! After I read this post, I decided I would love to try a Goodmama diaper on my little girl.

I too have heard great things about this brand from one of my cloth diapering friends – but my husband would have taken my debit card away if I ordered any – they are a little too pricey for our cloth diapering budget! Maybe if I won one to try it out, he would change his mind and let us add a few to our new stash!

I am itching to try a Goodmama, but these things come second when looking for a house. I know from experience that fitteds work well for us so I can't wait to get my hands on a Goodmama! Maybe the day we close on a house I will buy one to celebrate. Haha!

I would love to try one of these. We have started branching out and trying different diapers and these always looked like ones I would want to try! They are so cute though I'd hate to have to cover them up with a cover!

I haven't trying the Goodmama diapers yet because of a VERY strict budget. Right now it's easier to use my prefolds with my wraps. I love the idea of the Goodmamas, though. I do treasure the few one-size diapers I have.

Before this post, I hadn't even considered getting a Goodmama. I have a stash of all BG 3's and it works well for us. After reading though, I kind of want to get the Hot One for my little dude to wear around in the summer. The prints are sooo cute!

I actually owned one that I got for a steal up until about two months ago when I moved. I thought DD was ready to PT and didn't think I'd need to keep any of my CD. Well after the move, that didn't happen – she actually regressed, and now I'm working on getting a stash up all over again. It would be pretty nice to see a goodmama in this house again!

we havent tried fitted diapers yet, even though we have plenty of covers since we use prefolds, so I have been trying to find a good reason to give my husband when I buy one of these. I am excited about them though

We definitely have the Goodmama love! Nothing is better than coverless GMs on the cute twin bootys in the summertime and I love them under wool the rest of the year. So soft and absorbant and my boys actually like to pick out their favorites for diaper change time.

I don't understand the "fitted" GMs (I wouldn't want to cover a cute diaper up, but am not cool with the idea of no cover), but I love the cute designs of the Ones. I have my first one (The Lavender One), and have only gotten to use it a few times. I'm still working out some kinks, but it's so cute, I think I'll be getting more!

Goodmama AND Rockin' Green.. I couldn't agree more, love them both. Absolutely no blow-outs with Goodmamas, the snaps are simple to figure out, and the fit is perfect for us. We've used them since birth with our son and they are absolutely worth every penny spent on them. Still fitting wonderfully and looking beautiful a year later.

I had never heard of these as I'm usually drawn to the pocket diapers. However, upon reading this post I immediately checked them out at Kellys Closet. The pebble one is the coolest looking diaper I have ever seen. However, I don't think they'll be in my budget anytime soon!!

I got our first Goodmama during the huge hype last year. I couldn't believe I was spending so much money, but I had to find out what everyone was talking about. The minute I put it on my son he pooped almost immediately. I figured it must be pretty comfortable:) They are so incredibly soft and it's one of the only diapers he'll actually lay still for me to put on. Since that first diaper I went on to buy 20 more. I made a bunch of fleece soakers and we are set.Here we are a over a year later and he still wears them and now my new son fits in them too. I'm so excited that you can find that at more place now and I can't wait to try "The One"

AWWW he is adorable 🙂 makes me wanna go out and order my son one. Although, I love the BG'S, I think when our tax money get's here, I am thinking of considering this one. After all I am always willing to try a new one, but sometimes the money is not there. I think in all honesty I am obsessed with Cloth Diapering, that I have talked my cousin, in which is going to be a new mother next month to go green with cloth diapers. I am very proud of myself. I have help another mother to help herself and our environment. I wish I could win one of these

just got my first two goodmama's this month after many months of waiting to have some extra $ to try them. we love them and i have a couple more on the way. hoping to add to my stash over the next few months. they are so cute and by far the squishiest diapers we have.

I want to try a goodmama! new to cloth and loving it so far. I still cheat at night and use a disposable after first wake up. no place to put 2-3 wet cloths overnight….hmm I need a solution to nightime changes…

I'd like to win one of these! I have talked a lot of hype about CD in my blog and to my friends and those will listen. I've never tried this brand, though! I like the that the boy prints as as great as the girl ones in this line -that is kind of rare!

I just tried my first Goodmama and I LOVE them! They work really well for my 25 month old. They give her a great fit around the legs and tummy. Plus they are the ones that she asks for when I change her. 😉 I really want to get more b/c I like them so much but I think I would end up on the missing persons list 😉 b/c I have spent WAY too much on diapers lately.

I am new to cloth diapering, and want to try different brands to get the best fit for our baby, but can't afford to do that AzND order a starter package of the ones we like best… so… I am hoping to win one of each of the ones we want to try! LOL Goodmama and Smartipants are at the top of my list….

I also took advantage of the Goodmama deals around Christmas time and gave them to my little guy as stocking stuffers. I like them so far, except the snap around the hip area sometimes leaves a mark on him, but he doesn't seem to mind. I cant wait for summer so he can just run (or just start walking) around with just his cute little dipe!

We have not one, not two, but THREE goodmamas, and i like the way they fit, i just wish that the male snaps were set a little closer to what is the middle when the diaper is on, because sometimes i just can't get the most hip alligned ones snapped around his thighs of hugeness, and i imagine that having that pressing into his leg can't be the most comfortable in the world. hence they've become a going out but not sleeping diaper, since he sleeps on his side.

I just started using my first GM diapers this past November when I ordered from the GM site with their 40% off sale. I'm now addicted 🙂 Great diapers, especially for someone who is trying Elimination Communication with their little one too.

I would love to try the goodmamas expecially after hearing how well they clean and hold in the mess. I have two in diapers, one breastfeed and the other just poops alot. he is on medicine for ear infections all too often so it cause his upset belly. I just dont have the money to spend on them and wish i could!!!! maybe one day….. signed ashley harland baker
